War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 267: The Little Thoughts Exposed (Thanks to 'Controlling Emotions is Important' for the 500-yuan reward!)

When Brigade Commander Zhao led his troops to Sanjiazi, the fighting there had already subsided. What he saw were corpses lying on the ground in the heavy snow. It was the tragic scene of headless Japanese soldiers stabbing the bodies of the soldiers of the 224th Regiment with Type bayonets and dying together with them.

But at this time, Brigade Commander Zhao no longer cared about the so-called military discipline. He let the remaining soldiers of the 224th Regiment squat on the Japanese to search, and still shouted loudly in such a tragic situation: "Good fight! I will celebrate your success when I go back!"

He had to shout like that because Captain Zhao came with a special forces battalion.

The so-called special forces battalion in the 29th Army is not a unit composed of "spies", but a unit that performs "special tasks". This so-called "special task" is actually similar to the law enforcement team that Chang Zhan and Yu Lao's company served as when they were in Inner Mongolia. They all do the work of supervising the battle behind the army.

This also led to Xu Chaoyang constantly complaining when watching spy movies in his era. The secret service department of the police station in spy movies was actually a department that carried out "special tasks" and was not composed entirely of spies.

Brigade Zhao led such a group of people to Sanjiazi, and saw such a tragic scene. How could he not praise it? Otherwise, what would the soldiers think? Oh, the fight here was over, and you came to emphasize military discipline?
"report!"

A soldier carrying a G98 rifle ran across Sanjiazi, running towards Brigade Zhao who was about to boast about the 224th Regiment. When he ran close to Brigade Zhao, he gasped and said, "Brigade Zhao, my 217th Regiment was ordered to attack Baitaizi from behind, passing through Caijiayu, destroying the enemy's defenses, defeating the enemy defenders, and forcing our way to Baitaizi. After a hard battle, we won the battle in one go, and have now captured the artillery position set up by the devils in Baitaizi."

"Okay~!"

Brigade Commander Zhao was very excited to hear the news. Since their 109th Brigade sent the 217th Regiment to take over the defense of Xifengkou, although the battle situation has been difficult, good news has been coming in frequently. How could he, as the brigade commander, not be happy?

"It's just..." The communications soldier lowered his head.

Seeing the signalman hesitated to speak, Zhao asked, "Just what?"

"However, Captain Xu did not listen to Wang's dissuasion. He was blinded by the money in Baitaizi and refused to evacuate quickly. He insisted on taking away all the Japanese equipment, infantry guns, mountain guns, and field guns. As a result, the 14th Brigade returned and trapped the 217th Regiment in Baitaizi."

"You let go..." Brigade Captain Zhao didn't finish his curse and immediately questioned, "If Xu Chaoyang was so short-sighted, after he captured the northeastern heights of Xifengkou, would he be willing to leave the Japanese army's guns and artillery to the 218th Regiment? Would he only take the original equipment of his 217th Regiment and withdraw to rest?"

Brigade Captain Zhao did not have a detailed understanding of Xu Chaoyang's previous combat record, but judging from the battle at the Northeast Heights of Xifengkou and the process of handing over the defense zone after the war, this was not a profit-seeking person. How could he do such a thing in such a dangerous environment?

"report!"

The spy in charge of scouting the battlefield came back and quickly rushed to Brigade Zhao and shouted, "Report to Brigade Zhao, the 217th Regiment and a regiment of the Japanese 14th Brigade that came back to support Baitaizi have taken action!"

Captain Zhao was very calm. He waited for his men to swallow the saliva in their mouths and moisten their throats before he spoke again: "When the Japanese attacked Baitaizi, they were panicked by the grenades buried by Xu Chaoyang outside the village. Later, they pulled the troops to the side of Baitaizi and prepared for a feint attack..."

"The 217th Regiment was not fooled, which led to the Japanese leaving all the slow-moving machine guns to suppress Baitaizi on the battlefield, while the remaining infantry attacked the two wings of Baitaizi, and the situation was precarious."

"go on."

"Thanks to the 217th Regiment's proper arrangements, they placed the artillery outside the village and used the artillery left by the former Japanese garrison troops in Baitaizi to bombard the Japanese army, which is why..."

"Wait a moment!" Lieutenant Zhao stared at the soldiers under his command who were scouting the battlefield: "Where did the 217th Regiment get the artillery?"

The soldier was afraid that Commander Zhao would not believe him, so he explained, "The 217th Regiment has artillery! When we were stationed at Xifengkou, we fired at the enemy on the Northeastern Heights, but we were completely extinguished by the enemy!"

"I'm asking you, when the entire brigade moved to Panjiakou, they were all lightly equipped. The 217th Regiment left all the German artillery at Xifengkou. Where did they get the artillery?"

The scout was silent for a while before he pointed in the direction of Caijiayu: "Brigade Commander, the 217th Regiment really has artillery. Not only artillery, but also armored vehicles. They bombed Caijiayu flat. When I went there, only ruins were left!"

"Fuck you!" Brigade Zhao raised his hand to hit the scout, who subconsciously reached out to block him. Then he asked, "You have donkey hair in your ears? I'm asking you, where did they get the cannons?"

"Brigade Zhao! Brigade Zhao!" Dong Shengtang rushed over from Sanjiazi Village at this time. He was so energetic that even the two guards behind him were carrying Type 38 rifles.

"Brigadesman Zhao, the 224th Regiment has fulfilled its mission and captured Sanjiazi!"

Dong Shengtang was still far away and did not see Brigade Zhao's expression clearly. As he approached, he said, "The only flaw is that when our big knife team rushed over, we actually discovered the 14th Brigade hiding in the Sanjiazi armory!"

"Unfortunately, our Big Sword Team was too slow in destroying the devils. When we rushed over, many heavy weapons and artillery were taken away by the devils. I calculated from the wheel tracks that they even took away more than a dozen vehicles."

"But this trip is not without gain, Brigade Zhao. We found nearly a cavalry battalion's worth of war horses here, as well as sabers and a full set of Japanese standard leather saddles."

Dong Shengtang walked up to Zhao Lu at this moment: "This is the battle..."

"Speak!" Brigade Zhao's expression finally appeared in front of Dong Shengtang, which frightened Dong Shengtang. He quickly asked, "Brigade Zhao, is the 217th Regiment not fighting well?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Lu didn't give him any face and cursed him directly.

Dong Shengtang responded puzzledly: "We fought this battle in a confused manner. When we were attacking, it seemed that the Japs seemed to have been thrown into disarray by someone, and they ran towards the big knife team like headless flies. After the battle, we arrived at the east end of the village and found that the entire east end of the village was covered by sudden firepower. The Japs seemed to be in a dream, and were completely destroyed by the powerful firepower..."

"Captain Zhao, did you ask the 217th Regiment to come and help?" Dong Shengtang finally figured it out. That kind of firepower trace was definitely not something that an ordinary unit could do. Besides, there were only two regiments here, the 223rd and 217th Regiments. Who else could it be but the 217th?

"You, you blockhead!"

Brigade Commander Zhao glared at him without much explanation, and Dong Shengtang reacted: "You mean, I am leading people to risk their lives, while Wang Changhai ordered his people to pick the fruits? The heavy weapons and vehicles of the Japanese were not taken away by them. It was the 217th Regiment who was picking rabbits..."

"They have used Sanjiazi's heavy firepower to turn Caijiayu into ruins!"

Brigade Commander Zhao pointed at his scout and said, "My talents brought back the battle report from the Baitaizi battlefield!"

At this time, Brigade Commander Zhao looked at Xu Chaoyang's communications soldier again: "Your Battalion Commander Xu is really short-sighted, isn't he? He took the heavy firepower of the entire Sanjiazi, but when he came to Baitaizi, he was still blinded by money, right?" The expression on his face was like a father unbuckling his belt while scolding his child who stole money from home to play games in the arcade!

Xu Chaoyang's communications soldier fell to his knees, and said with a face full of grievance: "Brigade Commander, I swear to heaven that everything I said is true. I saw it all with my own eyes!"

"Commander, I have been a coward since I was a child. I will not lie. If I tell a lie, I will turn off the light!"

All three families were in chaos, and the only thing left in the whole village was the burning fire. Where were the lights?
Brigade Commander Zhao ignored him and turned to look at his scout and asked, "Go on!"

"The battle of Baitaizi was in danger. At this time, an armored vehicle drove out of Baitaizi and attacked the Japanese infantry on the east side. On the defense line, the 217th Regiment left all the troops who cooperated with them to prevent the enemy from disrupting the order of the attacking troops..." "At this time, the Japanese didn't know where to get artillery and launched a continuous bombardment on Baitaizi, and the whole Baitaizi was burned down!"

Dong Shengtang grabbed the scout and said, "Fuck you, say another word!"

"He, Wang Changhai, threw the pistol company and the broadsword team that I lent to 217 for close combat to the front line to be bombarded?!"

Dong Shengtang looked at Brigade Commander Zhao with anger on his face and yelled, "Brigade Commander Zhao, are you going to do anything about it? This is fucking taking human life lightly!"

Brigade Zhao was still able to hold back at this moment, and pointed at the scout being held by Dong Shengtang: "Keep going!"

"Captain Wang Changhai led the troops personally, and Captain Xu drove an armored vehicle to charge the enemy. The bravery of the two commanders united the entire 217th Regiment and instantly defeated half of the enemy's forces. With minimal losses to our army, we used artillery bombardment, armored vehicles, and infantry to launch a joint offensive, leaving Japanese corpses all over the ground, and the Japanese were reduced by nearly half!"

After this sentence was said, both Dong Shengtang and Zhao Lu fell silent.

At great cost, Dong Shengtang only managed to defeat the Japanese army and drive them out of Sanjiazi, and those he killed were only the devils who rushed over in panic. But the 217th Regiment was different. In a single attack, they killed nearly half of the Japanese army, including half of the Japanese army that came back to reinforce Baitaizi!

"report!"

Another soldier ran into Sanjiazi. When Brigade Zhao looked up, the soldier quickly approached and said, "Report, the commander ordered me to report to Brigade Commander Zhao that the Sasaki Regiment of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army has returned to support Baitaizi. If the battle of Baitaizi has not yet started, withdraw immediately. If it has already started, withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner..."

"what!"

Sasaki United?
He, Wang Changhai, and Xu Chaoyang fought with the Sasaki Regiment of the 14th Brigade at Baitaizi, and wiped out nearly half of the enemy in a single charge?
Nearly half!

Dong Shengtang loosened the scout's collar, and Xu Chaoyang's communications soldier raised his head when he heard this. He no longer looked like he was kneeling, but rather like he was sitting on a spacious chair with his legs crossed.

"map!"

After Brigade Zhao shouted, he immediately turned around to ask for a map, but the soldier who came from Xifengkou to deliver the letter said, "Brigade Zhao, the artillery of the 14th Brigade has withdrawn its artillery position to a position that is sufficient to bombard Baitaizi. According to our observation, the Japanese army is frequently moving around the beachhead outside the Xifengkou Pass, and it is very likely that they will move camp immediately."

"impossible!"

When the soldiers unfolded the map under the light of the fire, Brigade Leader Zhao looked at the map and said confidently, "Isn't the 14th Brigade afraid that our 29th Army will take advantage of their return and attack Xifengkou?"

After saying this, Brigade Zhao seemed to have reacted. It seemed that he was not afraid. If the equipment of the Xifengkou defenders could withstand the Japanese attack, would they still need to attack at night on a snowy night? Wasn't the purpose of attacking at night on a snowy night to avoid fighting in Xifengkou where they could not reach the enemy and only get beaten?

So what is the 217th Regiment going to do?

"Pass my order, order the 217th Regiment to withdraw from the battlefield immediately, and do not allow them to engage in a lingering battle!"

"Report!!!"

When the scouts of Zhao's brigade returned again, they looked anxious and said in front of everyone: "The 217th Regiment has engaged the enemy in the mountains on the flank of Baitaizi!"

"Battle situation!"

Brigade Zhao stared at him and asked. The scout continued, "After the 217th Regiment defeated the eastern offensive of the Sasaki Regiment, it encountered enemy machine gun fire and the entire regiment retreated into the mountains."

“Then, we were bombarded.”

"Captain Wang Changhai and Xu Chaoyang each occupied the two hilltops on the left and right to form a highland defense line, hiding from artillery fire on the back slope and supporting each other."

"After the bombardment, all members of the Sasaki Regiment's western attack force rushed to the high ground hills, only holding on to the 217th Regiment and not attacking with all their strength."

Dong Shengtang seemed to have forgotten where his pistol battery was broken, and immediately interrupted: "Brigade Zhao, either you are waiting for support or the coordinates of the next round of artillery fire are delivered, 217 is finished!"

Zhao Lu took a deep breath and said, "Don't you think this situation looks familiar?"

"look familiar?"

"During the Rehe Battle, Xu Chaoyang led his team into Rehe in the name of reconnaissance, but they fought their way from Dashuyingzi to Chifeng, and then fought their way back to Duolun. On the way, they were trapped in Pingyuan by Zhang Haipeng, waiting for Wang Changhai's support and Sun Damazi to cut off Zhang Haipeng's retreat!"

"This isn't the Sasaki team waiting for support, this is Xu Chaoyang waiting for me!"

"If I don't rescue them, the 217th German-equipped Regiment and my brother Wang Changhai who rushed out from the northwest will be gone. Once I go to rescue them, the 14th Brigade will definitely come back to support them. A defensive battle to hold Xifengkou will become a fight for our 29th Army to fight the 14th Brigade!"

"This is a disaster. Xu Chaoyang is definitely a disaster!"

"He sent out such a large fighter plane and dragged me into the game to rescue the 217th Regiment, waiting for Song Lao Ding's decision, forcing our entire 29th Army to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese 14th Brigade, which had exposed its weaknesses!"

"Fuck you, a battalion commander wants to fight a decisive battle, I have to go!"

"If this isn't a disaster, then what is it?"

"I'm gonna fucking kill him!"

"He must be killed!" Zhao Lu could no longer suppress his anger. He shouted loudly, with breath coming out of his mouth. He was so angry that he was about to explode, but he still had to make the decision.

"224th Regiment, listen to the order, quickly replace the Japanese army's guns and bullets, take away all usable grenade launchers and Japanese-made grenades, and quickly support Baitaizi!!!"
